It was meant to accompany the cremated body in Derveni Tomb A but, by a stroke of luck, did not burn completely. Considered the most important discovery for Greek philology in the twentieth century, the papyrus was found accidentally in 1962 during a public works project in an uninhabited place about 10 km from Thessaloniki, and it is now preserved in the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe papers in \u003ci\u003ePoetry as Initiation\u003c\/i\u003e discuss a number of open questions: Who was the author of the papyrus?
